Was Steve Buscemi in the Military?

Steve Buscemi is an American actor, film director, and former firefighter who has had a successful career in Hollywood. Many of his fans may know him from his iconic roles in films such as Fargo, The Big Lebowski, The Death of Stalin, and Boardwalk Empire, where he played Nucky Johahan. However, only a few know about his early days before becoming an actor. Before he landed his breakout roles, Buscemi spent nine years in the Fire Department of New York (FDNY), where he served as a firefighter during the 1980s.

In the late 1970s, Buscemi dropped out of film school and decided to pursue his passion for firefighting instead. On July 23, 1978, he enlisted as a volunteer firefighter at Fire Station 53 in Hell’s Kitchen, New York City. Later, he was accepted as a paid firefighter on July 18, 1979, after completing the intensive firefighter training program.

Throughout his nine years of service, Buscemi spent time fighting fires, working in the hazardous materials division, and conducting rescues. He quickly rose through the ranks and became an expert in rescue operations.

Fateful Moments: The Oklahoma City Marathon and September 11

Two life-changing events left a deep impact on Buscemi’s life.

Oklahoma City Marathon: On June 29, 1990, a fire destroyed the high-rise tower 10/20 Fire Research Company Building in Oklahoma City, injuring several people and causing an estimated $13 million damage. Buscemi led the response to the devastating fire and assisted in saving several people’s lives, earning praise for his exceptional bravery and dedication.

September 11th: In 2001, on a fateful day that will forever change the course of human history, Buscemi rushed back to the burned-out Twin Towers site immediately after learning of the second plane striking the South Tower. As part of FDNY Engine Co. 35, Buscemi actively searched for survivors in the rubble while others looked on, mourning the loss of thousands.

These tragic events brought the firefighter out in Steve Buscemi, illustrating his resilience and capacity to cope under dire circumstances. Despite facing unspeakable trauma, Buscemi’s service experience taught him invaluable skills in resilience and perseverance, setting the tone for his career in entertainment.

Climbing the Entertainment Ladder

The years as a firefighter significantly shaped Steve Buscemi’s professional development, preparing him for a promising acting career.

Some of his breakout roles, including those mentioned above (Fargo, The Big Lebowski, The Death of Stalin, and Boardwalk Empire), attest to his determination and resilience, demonstrating what it takes to make a successful career out of such an early investment.

While the 18-year commitment to the Fire Department gave Buscemi invaluable social and psychological preparedness to cope with Hollywood’s glamour, fame and fame-wanting critics alike it did little but his future to provide training. Yet it opened up diverse career avenues through friendships that became acting experiences and further exposure as firefighters. One notable friend-to-craft experience: Robert W.
